Gateway Pundit reports that the terrorist front-group, CAIR, has held a fundraiser for the first Muslim elected to Congress, Keith Ellison, D-MN.

Gateway also reports the sad news that venerable conservative columnist and icon Bob Novak has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

CAIR THREATENS SUIT AGAINST YAF (Corrected Update)

NOTICE! This is the corrected version of the original story, which contained a factual error.

Incensed by the inclusion of 'Jihad Watch' director Robert Spencer on the list of speakers for the annual conference of the Young America's Foundation, CAIR has threatened to sue the organization unless YAF cancels Spencer's appearance.

Spencer is a noted expert on the global jihad and has often drawn fire from terrorist front-groups, such as CAIR, for his willingness to report the covert activities of Islamic terrorists.

CAIR often portrays itself as a 'mainstream, moderate' Muslim organization. However, they are known to channel funds to overseas terrorists, and they have recently been named by the U.S. Government as an unindicted co-conspirator in a money scheme to benefit terrorist organizations in various countries around the world.

Below you will find the link to the news story about CAIR's threat. Note carefully YAF's swift, decisive, and bold response to CAIR.

LIBERTY ALERT! Dems Push Suits Against Whistleblowers

Washington, DC (TLS). The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives has introduced a measure that will allow Muslim groups such as CAIR to sue the airline passengers who reported terrorist suspicions on a U.S. Air flight recently.

Passengers aboard the plane noticed the strange behavior of the Muslims on the flight and overheard parts of their conversation, which the passengers insist was frightening.

Numerous news reports quoting a number of passengers indicated that the conversation and behavior of the Muslims were reminiscent of that of the suicide terrorists who struck on 9/11. The passengers reported their concerns and the flight was aborted.

Since that time the Muslims have claimed they were the target of religious discrimination. They have sought to bring lawsuits against the passengers who complained, but so far they have been unable to obtain the names of the specific passengers who reported their concerns.

If Democrats in Congress have their way, the Muslims will be allowed to get those names and sue them individually.

My friends, this is a bare-faced, open attack on the rights of American citizens to take reasonable action to defend themselves against possible terrorist attacks. CAIR in particular would like to sue citizens into complete silence about Muslim terrorists.

It is not surprising that the Democrats are in the hip pocket of CAIR, which has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the scheme to fund overseas terrorists. CAIR has met regularly with members of the Democratic leadership to influence the manner in which the nation responds to extremists.

CAIR has also given truckloads of money to Democrats.

The time to act is NOW to prevent the Democrats from initiating this disgusting and infuriating attack on ordinary citizens in this country.

UPDATE ON CAIR'S TIES TO TERRORISM

Washington, DC (TLS). CAIR has been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a funds-to-foreign-terrorist scheme, according to the FBI. The Liberty Sphere first reported on this most interesting development last week.

The people at the nation's counterterrorism bureau have further information about this development, and they ask the important question, now that CAIR is directly implicated in ties with terrorism, will the U.S. Government change its policy toward them under the present Democratic leadership in Congress?

Read all about it here:
http://counterterrorismblog.org/2007/06/print/with_cair_isna_as_unindicted_c.php

CAIR IMPLICATED IN FEDERAL PROBE

Washington, DC (TLS). A federal investigation into ties between Muslim groups in America and overseas terrorists has implicated, among others, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The federal probe names CAIR as a co-conspirator in the illegal support of the terrorist Palestinian group, HAMAS.

Federal prosecutors have implicated three U.S. Islamic groups with conspiring to support Hamas--CAIR, the Islamic Society of North America, and the North American Islamic Trust.

To refresh your memory a bit about CAIR, remember that it was CAIR that forced the City of Los Angeles to remove a billboard stating that Osama bin Laden was a terrorist, because, as CAIR put it, it is 'offensive to Muslims.'

CAIR helped elect the very first Muslim to national office, Keith Ellison, D-MN, who insisted on using the Koran to take his oath of office.

More recently, CAIR issued a 'directive' to news agencies in the U.S. in the wake of the Fort Dix Six terrorist plot, instructing them not to refer to the perpetrators as 'Muslim.' Each of the perpetrators were, indeed, Muslim.

And let us not forget that CAIR meets on a regular basis with members of the Democratic Party in Washington concerning bolstering the image and influence of Islam in America. These are the people, for example, who insist that the nation cease to profile terrorists for the fear that they will be correctly identified as 'Muslim'

CAIR has a long history of dubious operations, often providing financial support for terrorist operations overseas. It is good to see that they are finally on the hot seat. Perhaps their legal hot water will prevent them from continuing their mode of operation of late, that of suing citizens into silence merely because they identified potential terrorists.

Dems Seek to Silence Citizens on Terrorism!

Washington, DC (TLS). Remember the six Muslim imams who were ousted from a U.S. Air flight because they were acting and speaking exactly like the 9/11 terrorists?

It was ordinary citizens like you and me who alerted airport officials about their concerns.

If Congressional Democrats get their way, those ordinary citizens will be subject to civil liability. In short, report your suspicions about potential terrorists, and you will be sued.

Guess who is leading the Democrats' charge in Congress? Senator Russ Feingold and Representative John Conyers.

Behind the effort to get these changes passed into law is CAIR--the infamous Council on America-Islamic Relations. CAIR is also working on a bill with the Democrats to prevent so-called 'racial profiling.' That's just a code word for forbidding you to report your suspicions about terrorism if the ones you suspect happen to be Muslim young men of Middle Eastern descent.

Remember it was CAIR that just last week circulated demands that news organizations refrain from referring to the Fort Dix Six as Muslim terrorists. CAIR said they were not Muslim and that their actions had nothing to do with their religion.

But guess what? It turns out they are Muslim, they are part of the Jihad, and they used Al Qaeda tapes to train for their foiled terrorist plot.

CAIR did not want you to know that.

Frank Gaffney, Jr. has the following must-read over at Jewish World Review. Read the details about how CAIR and Congressional Democrats are working in tandem to silence YOU, the citizen, from reporting your concerns about terrorism:
http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/gaffney050807.php3

CAIR IS NOW THOROUGHLY DISCREDITED

Washington, DC (TLS). Now that the identities and the religious affiliation of the 'Fort Dix Six' terrorists have been thoroughly and irrefutably documented, there is now absolutely no doubt that CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) is a disgraced and totally discredited organization.

Most thinking people knew this already. But Democrats in Congress have been playing cozy with them. So have the mainstream media.

When the story broke about the Fort Dix Six, the Muslim terrorists who planned to murder hundreds, if not thousands of U.S. soldiers on our own bases, CAIR launched a major blitz to 'instruct' the media not to refer to the terrorists as Islamic.

In fact, CAIR is on record as stating that the terrorists are not Muslim at all and that their planned attacks had nothing to do with their religious affiliation.

This was in spite of the fact that all six are, indeed, Muslim, and that they used Al Qaeda training tapes to get ready for the attacks. They also referred to Osama bin Laden as their hero.

CAIR has just shown the entire world its true colors.

As we have stated repeatedly here at The Liberty Sphere, CAIR is nothing but a terrorist front organization. The fact that they would attempt to influence the manner in which the foiled terrorist plot was reported, when everyone knows the terrorists are Muslim, only points to their sordid, underhanded mode of operation as an apologist organization for terrorism.

And remember, my friends, the Democrats in Congress consult with these people on a regular basis.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes, if ever, for the Democratic leadership in Congress to totally disavow itself of any connection to CAIR.

SWORN AFFIDAVIT PROVES ISLAMIC JIHADISTS PLANNED TERROR PLOT

Washington, DC (TLS). A sworn affidavit by an FBI informant, who worked on the plan to thwart a terrorist plot in the making against U.S. soldiers on our own soil, shows beyond any doubt that the men who were arrested were, in fact, Muslim extremists intent on carrying out the Jihad.

In spite of CAIR's insistence that Islam had nothing to do with the terrorist plot, including demanding that news outlets avoid connecting the terrorists to Islam, The Smoking Gun has the goods that prove just who these men are.

A link is provided below that will take you to the website of The Smoking Gun. There you will find a 20-page sworn affidavit, provided by the FBI, that shows that the men who planned to kill in cold blood 'as many U.S. soldiers as they could,' are Islamic Jihadists.

It is entirely irrelevant that the men may not be connected directly with Al Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization, as if this makes them any less Muslim or any less terrorists.

In fact, the document you will read below provides details of the six men using Al Qaeda tapes and other materials by Osama bin Laden as sources of training to carry out this particular part of the Jihad. Whether or not they are actual members of Al Qaeda is a moot point. They nonetheless consider themselves as part of the Jihad, and obviously consider Osama bin Laden as a hero who models for them exactly how to conduct terrorist attacks against the West.

Be sure to read the entire document. It is a real eye-opener. And it erases any doubt that the terrorist plot uncovered by the FBI on Tuesday was, in fact, the work of Islamic terrorists.

CAIR CLAIMS TERROR PLOT NOT CONNECTED TO ISLAM

Washington, DC (TLS). The infamous Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that the terrorist plot foiled by the FBI on Tuesday was in no way connected to Islam.

CAIR has plenty of influence in American politics with Democrats who control Congress, including helping Muslim Keith Ellison (D-MN) get elected to the House.

But CAIR is known by its detractors as a terrorist-front organization. Many point to the fact that CAIR demanded that the City of Los Angeles remove a billboard naming Osama bin Laden as a terrorist, just after 9/11, because, as CAIR put it, 'The message was offensive to Muslims.'

Here is the complete the story on CAIR's comments concerning the six MUSLIM EXTREMISTS arrested by the FBI on Tuesday:

'(CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Tuesday said it was pleased that the FBI had foiled a plot to attack U.S. military bases but urged media organizations and public officials not to link the case to Islam. Six men arrested in New Jersey on suspicion of planning to attack military bases in or near New Jersey with the intention of killing service personnel are being described by officials as Islamic radicals. Four are Muslim ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, and the other two are originally from Turkey and Jordan, according to law enforcement officials. In a statement, CAIR said it was "repeat[ing] the American Muslim community's condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification." The group also asked "media outlets and public officials [to] refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam. The council asked mosques and Islamic institutions in New Jersey and nationwide to report any incidents of anti-Muslim backlash." CAIR said in the statement that it has issued "innumerable condemnations of terror." Critics of the organization have long noted its consistent refusal to denounce Hamas and Hizballah, two groups on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations. They also point to the involvement of some individuals evidently linked to CAIR in terror-related activities. CAIR denies the accusations.'

PBS Doesn't Want You To See This Film!

Washington, DC (TLS). The Public Broadcasting Network has planned a mammoth series of films entitled, 'America At a Crossroads,' to be aired on Sunday evenings. The eleven-part series will focus on some of the most critical issues facing America today.

One segment, however, has been pulled by the network. It is the segment that deals with radical Islam.

PBS does not want you to see this film. Executives at the government-run network insist that the reason for pulling the segment is that it was 'disjointed,' 'sloppy,' and 'lacking in a distinctive plot.'

Media watchers, however, say that there is another reason.

PBS is apparently caving to the massive Muslim propaganda machine, headed by organizations such as CAIR, that clearly does not want American citizens exposed to the facts that differentiate extremist Muslims from those moderates who practice the Muslim religion but who are pro-Democracy and anti-Jihad.

PBS thus far denies such charges, but the denials have a hollow ring to them given the fact that CAIR and other front organizations for radical Islam have pressured everyone else in the media.

It is very hard to believe that PBS has escaped such pressure.

But instead of forging ahead with their rational approach to the subject, PBS decided to can it.

Salt Lake Killer Was Muslim

Washington, DC (TLS). The 18-year old who plowed his vehicle into a Mall in Salt Lake City and began firing his gun at shoppers, killing five and injuring eight, was a Muslim refugee from Bosnia by the name of Sulejmen Talovic. The tragic incident took place yesterday.

The thing that is most interesting, however, is that the mainstream media has yet to identify the young killer as a Bosnian Muslim. This fact is key to understanding motivation, for this is not the first time a Muslim has used a vehicle as a weapon.

Just last year a Muslim in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, plowed his vehicle into a group of students at the University of North Carolina, injuring nine, after attending a seminar sponsored by a Muslim organization during which extremist Jihadist rhetoric was used by the speaker.

The police in Salt Lake claim they do not have a clue as to the motivation of the attacker, who was shot and killed in a shoot-out with officers. However, the fact that the perpetrator was Muslim could very well be a key factor in arriving at a motive.

In this politically-correct world of madness it is no longer acceptable to identify Muslim criminals as Muslim. Even Muslim terrorists cannot be referred to as Muslim. Under pressure from terrorist-supporting organizations like CAIR--the Council on American-Islamic Relations--the news media, police departments, and the Department of Homeland Security no longer correctly and specifically identify perpetrators.

But you can rest assured, what they will not tell you, The Liberty Sphere will.

So now you know.
